THE Senatorial contest in New Jersey
terminated yesterday in the election of
Rufus Blodgett of Monmouth County,
Democrat of prominence and an in
huential party leader. This result, so
unexpected and disappointing 10 Gov

transfer Of Republican votes from Mr.
S.wel. The re election Of the latter
being found impossible, It WAS deter

THE PRESS MEETING.

The proposed meeting of the Idaho
journalists at Shoshonc Falls at an early
date in August is 1, good move and we
hope it will be successful. 1t will be
welcome pleasure to those newspaper men
who can attend aud may have
beneficial effects upon the tone Of
the territorial press. God knows
there is abundant room for i'm,
provement. There is, however, one
feature of the proposed meeting we do
not like. 1t was never mentioned by
the originator of the moye-the editor
of the Cdssia County IImes-but
sprang from the nmble brain of Mr.
Lowell, the new editor Of the HALEY
Inter- Idaho, aud several lesser lights
This is the endeavor to make the meet,
iny a unit on the annexation. We give
the editors of Idaho credit for being
a de to do their own thinking. If Mr.
L'vell does not like the appearance Of
. the annexation subject, he has right to
object, but he should no attempt to force
others to adopt his views. The Inter.
Idaho was the first journal in Idaho to
openly and squareIy advocate the Neva,
da annexation scheme but it has weak
ened wociully since then. The Reporter
is exactly as it has always been and i,
has never yet been afraid to get up in
meeting and talk. If the four northern
counties are annexed to Washington
Territory, then we advocate annexation
to Nevada, and the quicker the better
| if not We are opposed to it and will Iabo
as hard as any other paper to boost ldah'
, into prominence ard make her show tn
best points. This being our honest an'
sincere views on the subject We do NJ
propose to sit tamely by and be terme
traitors by Il lot of blatherskites who hav
not been in tho territory long enough t
know what they are talking about-an
wouldn't know if they had been for fort
years. The matter is virtually dead an
tho attempt Of a few to force i; as an i
sue il i'll timed and cannot succeed. N,
'. single journal ir Idaho advocates it ;
present; then whe ce this tremendol
i effort to defeat something which has o
existence? The question is easily al
: swered by those who will give the matte
a moments careful thought If the NEE
ing, as originally iatended, is for the pu
pose of recreating aud becoming bett'
acquainted with each other, We a
heartily 10 favor Of it II for the pu
J, pose Of forcing an utterance on poli'
cal question, it deserves to be dism
failure.-Idaho Reporter.

There never has been any want Of

promptly paid, and when they have
asked advances on their work as it pro-
sressed before the pay was due they have
received them. No laborer has had tc

to this the company has now on its way

VIRGINIA CITY.-The breaking Of an
axle on one Of the stock cars of john
Robinson's circus this morning resulted
in the wrecking Of four cars. The
SACRED COW" was tossed on top of one Of
the cars, and one of the large elephants
was overturned and had its leg broken.
The beast shrieked with pain aud terror,
and refused to allow its keeper to ap
proach. 1t upset fat car with its
trunk. The commotiou after the smash
up was iudescribablc. Lions roared, Bos
serpeuts hissed, and sacred cattle bel
lowed, monkeys chartered, tigers growled
aud hyenas howled. The din aud up
roar reused ranchers from their slumber,
for miles around. The wounded elephant
was finally side-tracked with its keeper
and quieted down, and the trair
moved on toward Reno.

AN ALABAMA ROMANCE.
birmingham ALA Age. J


1t does not seem probable that a
man would learn to love and final
" marry a woman who once had
sent him to the coal mines, but
such was the happy ending few
days ago OF a little bit of romance.
About four years ago a drunken
miner entered a little town, not
forty miles from this city, and at
once proceeded to "cuss" out every
citizen of the place, without regard
to race, color, sex or previous con-
dition of servItude. Meeting two
respectable white ladies during his
wild career he cursed and abused
them at a terrible rate. He was
afterwards arrested for the Offense
aud tried before a justice OF the
peace in this city. One of the la
dies appeared as witness, and the
man was sent to prison and after
wards to the coal mines for two
wears. He served his sentence at
Pratt mines, and was released a
sadder and wiser man. After hls
discharge he located IN a small
mining town, working as a miner,
and became a sober and respected
citizen. Not many months ago the
lady who had appeared against him
as prosecuting witness moved to
the town where this man was Nv
ing, and the two became acqualnt'
ed. Time had wrought changes IN
the appearance of both, and they
failed to recognize each other
Strange as it may seem, their
friendship ripened into love, ana a
few days ago they entered the Of
fcs of the same Justice who hah
tried the case which sent the man

a marriage license, and the Official

mentioning the past. A little quiet
inquiry revealed the fact that the
bride and groom were still ignorant
of the fact that they once appeared

ing witness.

Mr.. T. II. Merrimee, bookkeeper
for J. f. White & Co., in Louisville,
Ky. was overcome last Tuesday
night while attending services at
the cathedral by a strange affection
W hich has thus far baffled medical
skill. Mr.. Merrimee, accompanied
by his brother and sister, went to
the Nav devotions at the cathedral
at 3 o'clock. The ceremonies lasted
about two hours, and when the
others started to leave Mr.. Merri-
NEE remained kneeling, his hands
cIasped and his eyes closed. All
efforts to arOnse him failing he was
carried into the sacristy, where
those around thonght him dead
DIR. Porter, the family physician,
was summoned and administered
restoratives, but the patient re.
mained in n comatOse condition, In
which state he was removed to his
home $50, Sixth street. Several
other physicians were summoned,
I but despite their efforts to restore
him TO consciousness, Mr.. Merri-
NEE remains to all outward ap'
nearances dead. The eyes OF the
unconscious man are open and
fixed in n death.like stare. The
cheeks are pallid and the lips blood
ess and cold. Yet the doctors say
that the temperature is normal, the
mise and heart are beating with q
healthy thr0b, and the lungs are
performing their functions. Though
thc heaving of the breast was not
noticeable, q mirror held for some
time over the lips was dimmed by
the moisture. Mr.. Merrimee IS q
Young man Of vigorous constitu-
tion. but inherits a very nervous
temperament. The case has e1
cited great interest among the
physicians, who will watch closely
its different phases.

TERRIBLE WATERSpOUT.
TT FLOODS A VILLAGE AND SWEEPS
AWAY HOUSES AND BRIDGES.

prrrsp URG, June S.-A special
from Johns town, Pa, says; A flood
Yesterday was caused by a water
spout west of IIooversvllle' Somer'
set county, a village on the line OF
the Somerset and Cambria railroad.
The village was utirely under wa
fer. and the destru ction ofproperty
is great. Many Thousand logs be-
longing to the La, robe Lumber
Company passed he re yesterday
The bridges above he,'e were car
ried of. Keernville bridge was
partly destroyed, and on c at Coop
ersdale was entirely swept away
as WAS one at Won Lumen's, near
town. The destruction Of property
is enormous, but the amount can
not be ascertained now.
At Hooversville the work of the
food is appalling. Upwards ol
twenty residences were washed OH
their foundations and deposited OH
the ground. At least one hundr ed
families in this borough alone 10 81
everything in the lower stories ant
cellars of their houses. The water
having subsided, the scene to-day
is one OF decentralization and ruin.
The yards and streets are blocked
with debris and rubbish ; houses
filled up with water, soaked goods
and mud, and multitudes of women
and children are standing about
weeping and mourning over their
ruined houses. '
In GrubletOwn, Conemaughbo-
rough, Marrllville, MinersyiIle'
Cambria City and COopersdale the
same scene is presented, and it is
estimated that in the suburbs anu
this city two hundred people were
temporarily rendered homeless and
dependent for shelter on the chsri'
ty of theirmore fortunate neighbors
/ No estimate can he made Of the
damage at present, but it is thought
that 1t will reach 81 100000 in this
vicinity alone. No lives, so far as
known, were lost.
